New Car / 新しい車

Last week I finally got my own set of wheels. Dave and I picked out this Toyota Corolla. Very basic, however much much much much much better gas mileage than Dave's Jeep.

Yestersday I received a package from Chika-san. Molly spent about 5 minutes licking the package.hahaha! I told Chika-san about a song that I really liked and she went ahead and sent me the CD!!! She also included some practice workbooks along with some "cute" pencils/erasers/sharpeners and pencil caps.

My friend Hisano recorded her first album this year. It was released Nov. 2nd!!
I have been dying to hear it, since I haven’t been there to hear all her new songs at the live performances. You can imagine my excitement when it arrived in the mail yesterday. Now double that excitement level and you will be able to imagine me as I realized she wrote a song about us! The song is great, it talks about how we didn’t have a lot of time together, but that the connection that was made was strong. She says that she knows that we will forever be the best of friends, even though I moved so far away. The memories will never be forgotten and that she will always be wishing for happiness for me and all the people I love. There’s more, but that is the jist of it. Awesome, huh? She even had the song’s lyrics written mostly in hiragana so that I’d be able to read them. Included are the few kanji that she knows I know. So COOL!!!! She also put ‘Emily and David’ under the special thanks section. I can’t believe there’s actually a song that goes with my experience in Okinawa! I truly miss her and every other friend I met in Okinawa. I hope I get to see them all again soon! Hisano-san, Arigatou Gozaimasu!
